Part One: Begin by completing the following political ideology test: Advocates for Self-Government (a libertarian website), Pew Research Center for People & the Press. Next, analyze the results. Do you believe that these tests accurately measured your ideological leanings to the right or the left? Why or why not?

Part Two: Some people argue that there are no significant differences between the two major parties. Back up your perspective with appropriate sources, such as reviews of party platforms. What are the major differences and similarities in the views of the Democratic and Republican parties? What are the primary areas of difference between contemporary Democrats and Republicans? How are the two parties similar? What are the consequences of these patterns for voters and election outcomes? For policy outcomes?

Your submission will be checked by SafeAssign; avoid over-quotation or excessive matching to prevent plagiarism detection.
